Kevin Portillo was 23 when he was shot and killed in Odessa, Texas, on June 15, 2020. The shooting happened about 3:30 a.m. in the 1400 block of Wilshire; Portillo, who was from Midland, was found with multiple gunshot wounds and died at the scene.

Police identified 32-year-old Jonathan Roy Dawkins of Odessa as the suspect and say he shot Portillo during a disturbance over a shared love interest — Dawkins was the new boyfriend of Portillo’s former girlfriend. Dawkins was arrested by the U.S. Marshals Lone Star Fugitive Task Force in San Angelo just hours after the shooting. Prior charges for Dawkins included misdemeanor counts such as possession of marijuana, evading arrest, and possession of a prohibited weapon.

The community and Portillo’s family were left to cope with the loss of a young man in a dispute that turned deadly. If anyone has information about Portillo, his movements that night, or witnessed the disturbance, please share what you know.
